Jewish Multiracial Network

Jewish Multiracial Network (JMN) has been a place of safety, belonging, and powerful community. Founded to offer supportive and inclusive spaces for multiracial Jewish families who so often were excluded from and othered by Jewish institutions. We are proud that throughout the past 25 years, has successfully created welcoming programs, retreats, and communities around the country for Jews of Color and multiracial families to be themselves, to connect with one another, and to explore joyful Jewish practice without concern that their overlapping identities would be challenged.
